Love my Confidence tread mill!
I just received my Confidence tread mill yesterday and used it probably six times already. As a 74 year old lady I took out the 3 year warranty for the affordable extra cost as it would be hard for me to package up and send out in the mail. My Fed Ex man brought it right into my living room for me. I live in a mobile home and needed something small. I did not expect to receive a "cadillac" model for the money so I was pleased with the quality for the affordable cost. Yes, the directions are sketchy, but in truth it's rather a "no-brainer" to install the three knobs and four screws that come with it. At first, I couldn't figure why there would be a knob on the side bar, but then I read another comment and realized it's there to lock in the bottom of the tread mill when you fold it up.
I have had not issues with the belt slipping as long as I keep an even step and don't try to get ahead of it. Perhaps jogging might induce belt slippage? I'm not sure as I just walk.
What I like best about my treadmill is the fact that it's a no-nonsense operator. All I wanted was the ability to walk without bells and whistles which only serve to confuse me.
I did find the handle bars a bit low, but I need them only for balance, so it's no big deal. I am 5' 4" tall if that gives you an idea. I wish the manufacturer had added an adjustable bar.
I found my Strong's Concordance to be just the right size to place under the back of my treadmill. (it is also Strong enough :)
I assumed the flat piece of flooring, that was included, was intended for underneath the tread mill, which you can see in one of the photos.
I am adding some photos that might help when installing the knobs and screws. I gave my review four stars instead of five, only because it's a no-nonsense, uncomplicated, easy install treadmill as opposed to a more expensive model.
I may post an update later should I encounter any potential problems. Otherwise, I am looking to use my treadmill for some years or the duration.
